ESP membership

Welcome to the ESP Community! We connect over 2800 ecosystem services professionals from more than 85 countries. The most efficient way to benefit from and contribute to this community is to become an ESP member.

Everybody interested or involved in the science, policy or practice of ecosystem services can become an ESP individual member. Among our individual members, we have business leaders, government-administrators, policy-makers and researchers. By becoming a member you can actively participate in the ESP community, events and even take part in the governance.

If you work for an organization or department where several people work on ecosystem services or if your organization would like to support ESP, you should consider an institutional membership. Institutional membership is open to any public or private organization involved in the science, policy and practice of ecosystem services.
